Speedy keeping this AFD

@Polygnotus, Flemmish Nietzsche, Oaktree b, and Cunard: Hold on a second. According to WP:CLOSEAFD, all votes in the discussion have to be Keep in order to perform a Speedy Keep. (if all other viewpoints expressed were for Keep.) However, my recorded vote was Delete and my final reply has only expressed intentions of changing it to Draftify. Oaktree b has also voted for Delete. I am totally fine with changing my vote to Keep after Cunard has presented the overwhelming reliable sources and rewritten the article, but my vote is still Delete on the record, and does not fulfill the criteria for a Speedy Keep. I think the discussion should be reopened for me to change the vote and for Oaktree b to express their opinion before closing and archiving it.

According to WP:IAR and WP:BOLD we can save ourselves some time. You voted based on something that has been completely rewritten and nothing of the original is left. Sure, we are not following proper procedure. But rules are made to be broken. Of course you can still change your !vote by simply editing the page without re-opening the AfD; but I don't think that is necessary. Polygnotus (talk) 06:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: I understand, but in fact there were still possibilities that Oaktree b and I would have had other opinions on the article and insisted on our votes, that's why I think the proper procedures should be carried out for this case. But anyway, I agree that reopening an AFD with an obvious outcome may be unnecessary. I have modified my vote to abide by WP:CLOSEAFD, at least for my part. Thanks all, and especially Cunard, for rescuing this article. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 07:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I'd not gone back and reviewed the new sources given by Cunard; I'm fine with the decision to keep. I think the decision was headed to a !keep, regardless of it being speedy closed or not. Oaktree b (talk) 14:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
